The. occupation 1V tli
government of Qpoi'ii l.iliiuokalani'a
palace at Honolulu is regarded as a final
Wow against the Hawaiian monarchy.
For the first time in the hUtory of tin
islands the si-cnlled national Han tloats
wer the building. This makes an arti
cle in the cr.rrent Milliliter elf the (
mopolitan magazine on the rise anil de
dine of th Hawaiian monarchy rsjtec
ally timely.
In the middle of the IStli century
KanietiKmelia, one of the native i-hiels,
by indomitable Itravery, skill and per
everanee, wrought out the unity of the
Hawaiian kingdom. Arrayed in u cloak
mi ht-lniet of scarlet he is recorded to
have stood in the forefront of the buttle,
erene anil joyous, catching with one
hand the spears as they whim led ly
him and hurling them back with terri
ble effect upon the foe.
It was during the reign of Kamelia
meha II that the country was prepared
for the reception of the Christian mis
sionaries. Of the succeeding kings,
Kamehameha IV, with his devoted
wife. Queen Emma, governed constitu
tionally and skillfully. Next came
David Kalakaua, his election being
chiefly due to American influence. The
writer in the Cosmopolitan says:
Kalakaua may le said to have brought
bout the downfall of the Hawaiian
monarchy. The old Kamehuinehas
ruled somewhat destotically, hut, on the
whole, ttenehcally to the country. Ka
lakaua was lacking in originality, self-
deitetulence and vigor of the old ilv
nastv. He was a remarkably clever and
original man, of good literary and scien
titic attainments, of fine presence, easy
manners and preat dignity. But, min
gled with all this, there seemed to be
something of reversiou to the original
type. Now and then came extraordi
nary outbursts of superstition, hula
dances would become frequent at the
palace; Kahunas, or native witch doc
tors, would become the king's chosen
advisers.
Kalakaua dying in 1891, there came to
the throne of Hawaii its first queen,
Lilliuokalani. She was a strenuous
worker in tiie cause of education and
temperance, and a regular attendant at
the native church of Kawaiahoa. But
she dreamed of the power wielded by
the Kamehameha and became restive
tinder the limitations ioiosed upon her.
She determined to get back to the old
.regime. Her will and her power were
not eqnal to the occasion, and the pres
ent crisis in the affairs of Hawaii was
precipitated by her promulgation of a
new constitution which should be es
sentially that granted bv Kameham
eha V.

J. C. Murphy writes to the Antelope
Herald :
"Some democrats advise vou to "store
vonrwool in your barns and hold it over."
IIow many of our sheepmen can hold
over? (Sheepmen at present pay high
wages and they are under a great ex
pense running sheep. It takes wool
money to carry them over, and what
object will there be in holding it? If
wool is made free, it will lie worth less
next year anil the man who borrows
money and holds his wool over will be
the loser. It is not the sheepmen alone
who will snfl'er but it reaches out to all
classes. It will give The Italles a blow
along with the country people, and the
poor farmers and grain raisers, who have
been promised high prices for their grain
nd farm products if they would vote
for Cleveland, will find themselves shak
ing hands with hard times and low
prices for grain. Oregon should feel
proud that she was one of the republi
can states, but she must suffer for what
other states have forced upon lis and our
nation, Gentlemen, don't vou see we
are getting a taste of free trade already?
If ow do yon like it?
The alarm felt by Mr. Murphy is per
fectly natural, for free trade has been
promised as by the democrats if they
were elevatedjto power, and hence all
wool held over would lte lower in price
next year than now. But the democratic
party will not be so sweeping in their
tariff reductions asjthey have promised.
They dare not do so in the face of the
popular protest that will surely be raised
as soon as tli tariff on wool is under dis
cussion. It is not foreseen just how they
will get out of it, but get out of it they
will. But now is the most propitious
time in the wrW for the wool specu
lators to "run a bluff," and they are
utilizing the opportunity for all it is
worth. The price of wool a few months
bence will not differ greatly from what
it was six months ago.
ventures railroads
irrigating canals into unpopulous re
gions trusting to renewals to carry it
through, and deceiving itself with the
belief that British credulity and liberal
ity would last forever.
The first installment of these loans
was paid with comparative ease; the
second pinched : the third brought the
crash. Eleven of the fifteen banks
closed their doors, and the remaining
four are shaky. The collapse has shaken
Loudon violently, and in her distress
Iondon is pursuing precisely the course
that is pursued by a bank when it finds
itself in trouble. She understands that
it is useless to press her bankrupt debt
ors for money, and turns for relief to
her debtors in the United States. The
bank pushes the men capable of respond
ing; it wastes no time on worthless
paper. For the same reason England
turns with her securities to the Ameri
can markets. That and the adverse
balance of trade are the prime causes
of the prevailing stringency. With sil
ver in reserve we are meeting the de
mands, not without some suffering, but
withal with advantage. This strain
over, we shall have the confidence of the
investigating world, precisely as the in
dividual who resixmds to the pressure
orougtit to bear by a focal bank wins
the confidence of that institution and
turns it to advantage in better times.
This experience, though, ought to
demonstrate to the dullest mind the
wisdom of the demand for a more
iiU'rulaml yet safe circulating medium
in the United States. The science of
banking declares as an axiom that the
banking institution ot large liabilities
requires a large reserve. The United
States, as a debtor nation, ha linjvf
In poultry there is a steady demand
for broilers and a fair inquiry for old
fowls, with a weaker market in sight.
The fruit and vegetable market con
tinues fairly active. Strawberries are
moving freely with a good demand for
shipment, and prices range from ,(!'... to
.05 cents per box bv crate. Cherries are
coming into market iu limited quanti
ties. Vegetables are in good supply anil
prices are nominal.
Hides and sheep pelts are flat, and the
market is weak and indifferent. Furs
are active at an advance on some kinds.
The wheat market is more demoralized
than for some time past. Eastern and
Euroiean reports are not very encourag
ing, as the following indicates. It is now
conceded that the product of this coun
try will average about 440.IMK) bushels
with a surplus of about 170,000,1X10 to
carry over into the next year, giving
fully 010,000,000 bushels against 555,000,-
000 last year. Keports from abroad in
dicate that there will be a lietter average
in foreign countries this vear than lias
been realized for the past two vears. In
view of this outlook and the stringency
in finances in America, it is safe to say
that wheat markets will lie dull and
heavy, and with little promise for satis
factory prices. The Dalles market quota
tion shows a sharp decline during the
week and we quote 45 to 50 cents per
bushel at the mills. Portland quotes
fl.021.. and $1.0:1 er cental for Eastern
Oregon and 1, Jl.ll'Si and $1.13'., for
valley.
The condition of our own wool market
is lifeless in character. Buyers efforts
for consignments are more frequent than
that for purchase. The tariff is waning
the foreign supplies can do hut little in
comHtition. The market here Is well
stocked, but tiie bulk of the supplies ure
held in Ixmd, where it can either he
held until wanted or else he shipped
back to Europe fur a market. Some
holders are talking strongly of sending
their sunnlies back to Loudon, and this
may be done to some extent, although It
w ill be wanted w hen the tariff has I ecu
changed. Carpet wools are dull, but
values hold steady. The cholera in
different sections of Asia and Europe
where these wools are grown is liable to
nuke great changes iu tiis veur's im
portations. 1'rices abroad hold very
firm.

The latest reports state that prices
abroad for wool hold very firm. This
probably marks the turning point for
the better. Buyers have stated that

The tone of the market is yet unset

inclination to name a price that they
will pay. The general talk is that it is
not safe to attempt to handle this clip
above the free wool basis for raw mater

that the free wool point has already

away, buyers took hold and bought
freely. City buyers for general purjsjse
horses were also on hand ami their pur
